Assassin's Creed Revelations Creative Director Leaves Ubisoft

Alexandre Amancio, the creative director of Assassin's Creed Revelations, has left Ubisoft.

Amancio left the studio to take a new role as chief creative officer at Cossette, a marketing company based in Quebec City, Canada. He first joined Ubisoft in 2005 and previously worked on FarCry 2.

"Video games and advertising have many common elements. In both industries, we are always looking for new ways to engage the consumer to the brand," said Amancio. "In addition, like advertising, the video game industry must now take into account and supply a very important social dimension in its development and strategies. The game is no longer just a game, it's a community, relations between players, and the brand. "

Assassin's Creed Revelations isn't a bad game at all, but Ubisoft needs to take it's time and make the next one truely innovative or it will get stale fast. Maybe they will hire a new creative director to give the series that spark it needs.

uh yeah so far assassins creed 2 is the best yes brotherhood wass good but the map wass small and revelations its pretty good but i stop playing it for no reason and that didnt happen with any of the other three before.So Ubisoft you better step it up next time.

I don't think it is that big of a deal to be honest. ACR could have been better but it really wasn't bad it was still a great game. Yes, they do need to step it up but only in the sense of the new toys they give us have to be good... "cough" "cough" Den defense

you could see in the video interviews and at comic con that he wasn't in to it. Ever since patrice and now alex leaving my favorite franchise is looking to become really bad. Multiplayer and moving to a yearly release schedule were the worst desicions ubisoft has ever made

I don't understand how people can say AC:R is any good, let alone great. That game was far from the greatness that was ACII. And the sad part is that Ubisoft only did it to make money. It was not a necessary game to make. They could have easily taged on a DLC for AC Brotherhood to help complete the story of Ezio. AC:R is just a downright awful and ugly game. Ive tried to like it, and it just doesn't have that same feel that ACII and AC:B have had. If the third is going to be anything like AC:R, Im not buying it. And to think I use to hold this series as the best of this Generation of new I.P.s

The only reason I keep buying these games is because of the story. UbiSoft seems to revel in drawing out the story and stretching the series into as many games as possible. At least Assassin's Creed III is rumored to be finally coming out this year. It better be good, because they have had since 2009 to work on it. After ACIII, though, I'll likely avoid future AC games unless they drastically evolve.

Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come. I love Assassin's Creed but I wasn't entirely satisfied with what I got in Revelations when compared to Brotherhood and AC2. Maybe this will change some of the things I personally didn't like about ACR, like the redesign of Desmond's features and the downsizing of the city, but I don't think it bodes well when your CCDs leave two years in a row.

Won't be able to tell for sure whether Amancio's departure was due to not wanting to be at Ubi anymore or if he just felt the new job was better suited him unless he says something. Though Desilets' departure did seem that way, or perhaps even more in response to where they decided to take the franchise. As a hopeful future game designer I personally couldn't blame him for wanting to leave a situation where he was trying to coordinate between six separate studios.

Guess who was in the creative direction until Brotherhood: Désilets. Revelations was a "creative disappointment", at least for me. As I played it I felt something was missing, even not sure what it was. So I hope from now on things don't get worse.
